How about using a capt'n hook tip for a RV?

Somehow I missed this video . I absolutely suck at making flares , probably cause I haven't had to make any for years now but still I need to work on getting good at it . Again the flaring tools we get here most of 'em aren't anywhere near the one you've got , it's just the basic regular ones that either don't grip the pipe well enough and slip , or grip too hard and you end up damaging the pipe ...

Bloody good repair mate 👍 The trick for sanding the inside surface with the drill is awesome, never thought of that !

So I got a new reversing valve from trane supply for a 3 ton system, it was normally in cooling position is this normal ? I could see the light through holes from line going to condenser to discharge which means it was in cool mode, do you have to manually elenergize or work this valve to put it in normal position ?

So…. First of all THANK YOU! Yes I was pulling my hair out… Second, I am SOOOOOO sorry to tell you that after hours of troubleshooting and trying to figure out the PIN from a total lockout… I’ve realized that the actual date code is…. The first part of the damn serial number on the back!!!! 😡

This guys a real pro and is to be commended for sharing

I can’t find the shorter filet knife on the website. What model is this do you know?

Isn't that just a bent 'paperclip'?

When I first started helping with repairs & overhauls I was taught to throw a pressure relief on our 600 lb tanks once I switched to pulling vapor. Never thought much more about letting it vent inside the mechanical room. Sure I knew inhaling refrigerant is bad, but it wasn’t until a few years down the road I started working under a new guy I was told about how bad 123 was to breathe. He showed me all the stuff trane wrote up about it, how you’re supposed to wear masks and stuff, etc. He even told me that the local carrier shop was paying guys hazard pay to work around it….honestly frustrated me how none of the people I used to work with even mentioned it to me, let alone had me staging every machine by myself until it was time for them to come in and have me help.

Is it 1/4 in bits work in it?

alot of hard leaned concepts explained well here.

I have a hi delta I am stuck on. Has call for heat Blower kicks on Blower indicator lights do not active** However the HSI will prove Gas valve one receives 24v for maybe 1-2sec then ignition process recycles until unit goes into soft lockout I went though it and the ladder trouble shooting guide says replace fan but before I buy one I want to really make sure that’s the issue. Any recommendations on other components to check?

What's your opinion three years later?

Incredible. I went to the hardware store asking for a tool to do it. But it didnt exist

Great video thank you

This was so so very helpful! A visiting friend decided to change the room temp and inadvertently put the thermostat into a "scheduled" mode. I prefer to set temps manually. Could not figure out how to change it because I lacked the PIN. Your video was the saving grace. Worked like a charm. That calculated PIN is now on a label affixed to the thermostat. Never again!

Great info dude, now I gotta go destroy a pair of crimpers lol, lucky I have several of them , thanks for the help 😊

Great video and great ideas

More videos like this please 🤓

Great stuff bubba 👍

I have used a sweat-in service access valve stub and inserted it through a pre-drilled wine cork. Goes straight onto my manifold hoses w/ball valves and I just use whatever gas is in there to blow out drain lines. The benefit of that tool is the cork passes through tee fittings and seals into the 3/4 pipe.

I'm a caretaker for an empty house 150 miles away with a Lennox heat pump and I can only go there and caretake about once every couple of months. Last week, house was not hot or cold, about 72 degrees and thermostat was set to 75 on cool. Changing it for winter so I switched from COOL to OFF and moved the thermostat to about 63, then switched to HEAT. I didn't hear the reversing valve moving like I have before when I have switched it between seasons but I never paid much attention to the house temp at those times so maybe before, it was not in a sweet spot between 75 and 63 and the unit reacted. Does the RV only move when the thermostat calls for heat (or cool) the first time? Or, should I have heard the RV move as soon as I switched the switch even though it wasn't cold enough to call for heat? I've checked the power company KW usage online and it is using more power when it gets a little cold there ( about 41 degrees) and less when it is warmer, so something is happening. I am worried though that the RV might be either stuck or the solenoid is OL and the unit is not working and is just heating with the emergency heat strips. I either need to relax and assume it is heating normally, or otherwise I need to arrange to meet an HVAC tech there. Anyone got advice? I already have enough to worry about.

You could crimp some copper PEX rings over top of the brass ones, just so it can't crack. The brass ferrules are available in a longer version too.

Something to consider with long nitrogen leak test is temperature. Pressure will drop when temperature drops.

Magnets....I hate those bakets. I curse engineers everytime. Thank you for that.

Very cool, great info. Surprised you didn't make a small regulator for the gallo gun...

I need help with raypak h9 boiler please let me know I'm in the NJ thanks

Love the kit and all the mods. What sawblade do you use for the hand saw?

Unreal that we get all that hard earned experience from you for free , thank you so much Josh 🤜🤛

Exactly. Some of These tool reviews are silly people that really aren’t experienced Tradesmen and they shouldn’t be acting like Experts.

Great video😊

2 years later and it still works great

that was great, thank you

That phase 3 test kit is nice. Used it many times. Those quik checks are not that good. I believe its just litmus paper

I use a brazed plate HX as my subcooler. Its especially good when you have an operating chiller. 44° water will cool it down nicely

Satisfying repair!

Pretty much modern fitting are not strong

👌 very nice

Great job boss, thank you for breaking down the process. 🫡

thanks

Should have had the ball valve located closer to the main line especially when considering the torque being applied when swinging that ball valve. Hope you made the repair correctly. There was no need to bring that gauge out that far from the main line.

Suuuuuuure probably dickin around

That's an amazing idea

That's what she said 😂😂😂

Don’t you just love it when you want to fix something so simple and it just turns into a mess in an instant!! Ah, the joys of doing maintenance!!

Can we get a tour of that mechanical room

Boss : yeah just a quick PM and then call me back cause we need you elsewhere afterwards yeah ?😂

At least this didn’t happen on a Friday 3:30 PM 😂

Glycol ?

I've had a lot of problems with Chinese brass splitting.
